I think `occur' always makes things visible because it copies text and
overlays are not copied along, so the invisibility gets lost.
I do think query-replace should be improved to open invisible text just like
isearch does.

I'm not exactly sure why isearch does it like that, but reveal-mode (which
does something similar, tho not restricted to isearch) does the same for the
reason that it's simpler and that text-properties tend to be used for
different circumstances. E.g. overlays are used for things like outline.el
or folding.el whereas invisible text-properties seem to be limited to
smaller extents which are never-ever meant to be shown to the user.
